Look, we get it. Expectations have been raised. We want the best. But at some point A&M needs to stop acting like they’ve crossed the finish line just by hiring Jimbo Fisher. Stop taking credit for his Florida State accomplishments, and certainly stop giving him plaques for championships at A&M that he hasn’t even won yet. Jimbo is a great hire, and the possibility exists that he could do really well in College Station. But right now that’s all it is: a possibility. The odds of him bringing a national title to A&M and the odds of him being the next Fran are probably about the same.
Aggies fascinate me. Insecurity wrapped in over inflated egos. That in an of itself is not that uncommon but what makes the Aggies fascinating is that they never seem to give up. They never seem to get over the top but they never stop trying. They seem to stick out their chest and say “we are better than you, it is just a matter of time before the world sees it”. No matter how many 7-5 or 6-6 seasons they have they never stop believing in their inevitable greatness. It is somewhat charming.
Me, I would take the aggie mindset over the Longhorn mindset of “we are great and you suck and that is just how life was meant to be. So sit back and accept your lot in life, accept the fact that there we are your betters.” The Longhorns are over inflated egos wrapped in larger over inflated egos. They are not charming in the least.
i’d like to give my two cents about the aggies and their ways but that ship of an omelette I had for bfast is fixin to leave port for open seas and i gotta go.
They first need to win their division, which will not happen in the foreseeable future, unless Bama, LSU, and Auburn suddenly all get bad at the same time.
